Embedding Leo into pyzo?

[Edward K. Ream]

I've been thinking of this ever since Satish Goda's original PlantUML and pyzo posts.

Yes, it would theoretically be possible to embed Leo into pyzo, but the sane, sensible (and polite) approach is to leave pyzo alone, and make Leo do everything that pyzo can do ;-)

Otoh, for study only, it may be useful to insert traces into the actual pyzo editor.  These will never become public.

I think in today's world of disparate software components, It would be really nice to see how Leo's integration component would integrate with Pyzo.

I really wish for a future where plug and play of awesome components from various disciplines will be as easy and painless as possible.

​What do mean by "Leo's integration component"?​

​That's the holy grail.

Hi Edward.

I meant this -> http://leoeditor.com/leoBridge.html

I have not had time to try this inside pyzo, but testing leoBridge within pyzo would be a good test.

​I ran the following script within pyzo without problems:

import leo.core.leoBridge as leoBridge

import leo.core.leoGlobals as g

path = r'c:\leo.repo\leo-editor\leo\core\leoPyRef.leo'

assert g.os_path_exists(path), repr(path)

controller = leoBridge.controller(

    gui='nullGui',

    loadPlugins=True,

    readSettings=True,

    silent=False,

    verbose=False)

g = controller.globals()

c = controller.openLeoFile(path)

After executing this I can evaluate, for example, c.p in the shell window, and pretty much do anything else that pyzo can do, but now on Leo data.
